Have you ever noticed that some people consistently achieve their goals while others struggle to make progress? The difference often comes down to a single mindset shift – staying locked in without settling for less.
Right now, we're in the "August harvest" – that critical midpoint of 2025 when we need to evaluate our progress against the goals we set in January. Many of us started with clear objectives and visions of where we'd be by now. Some are right on track, but others may feel they've fallen short. This conversation tackles how to recalibrate and finish strong regardless of where you stand today.
The secret lies in three powerful principles. First, "keep the main thing the main thing" – identify your single most important priority that resonates in your heart, not just your head. Write it down, visualize it, and treat it as your bullseye. Second, commit to ruthlessly eliminating distractions. This means becoming relentless with the word "no" and recognizing that anything not directly aligned with your main thing is simply a distraction – period. Finally, acknowledge progress daily, even when it seems minimal. Sometimes, maintaining focus and commitment for an extended period is progress worth celebrating.
This mindset shift transforms how you approach your goals and fosters greater accountability to yourself and responsibility for your unique talents. In our distraction-filled world, being intentional about your time is an act of self-respect and purpose. Join our Proven Not Perfect community as we lock in, refuse to settle, and commit to making the remainder of 2025 our most purposeful and productive time yet. And stay tuned – we've got some amazing guest conversations coming in September that you won't want to miss!

Drive, Ambition, Doing, Leading, Creating... all good until we forget about our own self-care. This Village of All-Stars pays it forward with transparency about misses and celebration in winning. We cover many topics and keep it 100. We are Proven Not Perfect™️
